James Van Der Beek enjoyed a night at the ballpark on Friday watching the hometown Los Angeles Dodgers baseball team get whipped.

The 36-year-old former Dawson's Creek star dressed comfortably for the game at Dodger Stadium.

The actor was wearing a simple white T-shirt and also sported a pair of stylish tortoiseshell glasses.

James displayed a little facial stubble as he watched the Dodgers get routed by the Philadelphia Phillies.

The actor witnessed a bit of history as the Phillies 16-1 pounding of the Dodgers was the most lopsided home loss by a Dodgers team since 1947 - when they still played in New York City's Brooklyn neighborhood.
